Bon Appétit's 30 Days of Grilling Begins June 1, 2013

Tomorrow, as you may have noticed, is June 1. A Saturday like any other. Time to take the kids to soccer and ballet, recover from Friday’s post-work festivities, maybe take a walk in the fair sunshine that is spreading across this great land… A relaxing day. A day in June.

But no. This June 1 will be different. It will be better. It will be… grillier?

Yes, grillier! For June 1 marks the beginning of 30 Days of Grilling, our campaign to get you outside and cooking every single day this month. Whether you’ve got a Weber-esque kettle, a gas-fired chrome contraption, or a converted 50-gallon drum propped up on cinderblocks, we’re going to give you all the knowledge you need to master the most important cooking skill of summer.

Much of this, naturally, will come from The Grilling Book, Bon Appetit‘s new 432-page, 380-recipe compendium of cooking-over-flames-outdoors wisdom. But we’ll also be presenting a bevy of new stories as well, from advice on which tools you absolutely need to have to an interview with a guy who grilled every day for an entire year, to the most extreme grills in America. And, of course, recipes: meats and sides and desserts and drinks! Really, we’d present you with an apron, if HTML allowed it.

All that, however, begins tomorrow. Today you should just relax and let your grilling imagination run wild… JUST KIDDING! Today you should be getting your grill ready for the fun that’s about to commence, and here’s how:
